    Card is rotten tonight out with the two title fights. Very weak for a PPV

    Honestly Dana and his whole vendetta against Ngannou has killed a lot of the hype for me.

    Hope Ngannou wins and walks away with the belt.

    I like both guys to be honest.
    Hope they put on a good show.
    I will be disappointed for whoever loses. Not a fight where I want to see a loser.

    I often find the least attractive card on paper produces the most exciting cards.
    Maybe lower expectations.

    Not a great card and the Playoffs are on.

    Main event should be fun.

    3-2 Ngannou for me.

    Pish fight. Was quite funny at times though.

    Knew Ngannou had won when Dana wasn’t holding the belt :rofl:

    Excited for this weekend. I can't see past Israel, if I'm honest. It's a shame he's not the same beast at LHW because I think he's a fair bit ahead of the rest of the middleweight division.

    Is it just me, or is the quality of commentating in MMA utter *? The last few UFC gigs have been especially bad - OTT whooping and hollering, and zero insight into the actual contest! And it gets worse the further you get up the fight card - by the time you get to the headline scrap, Rogan and Co seem about to burst! I half expect a 'worldstaaaaaaaaar' scream.

    PS - the reason this came to mind just now is that I'm watching some of the winter games coverage and the screeching pish from the commentary no-marks in one of the Freestyle events reminded me!

    Feel as though MMA is going through a bit of a quiet period, or at least the UFC is.

    Could just be my social feeds but honestly think outside of American’s people are seriously sick of Dana/Rogan’s bullshit. Even places like Reddit and Sherdog seem to turning on them…

    Rogan had been phoning it in for a while but he’s honestly a complete turn off now.

    Getting to the point where it’s unless it’s a complete can’t miss fight or someone I’m a massive fan of I won’t even watch.

    Hopefully the weekend is the start of them pushing Rogan out.
